Listen Later

🎙️ The Toss C3 Podcast is back with Greg Hanna, founder of Toss C3, and host Neil Haley discussing the Netflix thriller "Leave the World Behind"—a cyberattack-fueled apocalyptic nightmare that may be closer to reality than we think.

🎬 "Leave the World Behind"—A Cybersecurity Horror Story

  • The #1 Netflix movie starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon delivers a terrifyingly real depiction of a cyber attack on the U.S.
  • Hackers disable communication networks, power grids, and GPS systems, causing total chaos.
  • Autonomous vehicles (like Teslas) are remotely hijacked, blocking highways and causing mass destruction.
  • Planes crash, oil freighters get stranded, and anarchy sets in within hours.

💥 Could This Really Happen? Cybersecurity Experts Say YES!

  • Infrastructure cyberattacks are a real-world threat—recently, a water facility outside of Pittsburgh was hacked.
  • Power plants, transportation, and communication systems are all vulnerable to cyber warfare.
  • 72 hours from anarchy—once a cyberattack disables critical infrastructure, panic sets in fast.

⚠️ Biggest Cybersecurity Threats Today:
✅ Hacking power grids—a coordinated attack could plunge entire cities into darkness.
✅ Tampering with water supplies—cybercriminals have already attempted this in the U.S.
✅ Disrupting GPS & air traffic control—planes could literally fall from the sky.
✅ Autonomous vehicle hacks—as seen in the movie, self-driving cars could be turned into roadblocks.

🚨 Why Every Business & Government Must Take Cybersecurity Seriously

  • Hollywood often predicts the future—this movie isn't just fiction; it’s a warning.
  • Cyberattacks on national infrastructure are inevitable unless governments take proactive action.
  • Greg Hanna for Cybersecurity Director 2024?—Neil Haley says it first: Greg should be heading to the White House to prevent this from happening!

🔒 How to Protect Yourself & Your Business:
✅ Invest in strong cybersecurity defenses—don’t wait until it’s too late.
✅ Train employees & citizens on cyber hygiene—most attacks happen due to human error.
✅ Prepare for emergencies—backup power, offline communication methods, and cybersecurity contingency plans are a must.
✅ Stay informed & vigilant—cyber warfare isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality.
